Description

Our guest acted in the latest Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson, David Copperfield starring Dev Patel and hit Netflix series The Crown.


I’m so excited about our guest this week it’d be hard to think of someone better to be on BEST of LONDON. She studied at the prestigious Drama Centre where fellow alumni include Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Michael Fassbender.


She has a love of London that goes so deep that she trained to become one of the world’s best tour guides known as the Blue Badge Tour Guides. These dedicated people train for years to become the best of the best in London tour guiding.


They have to know london inside out and back to front they have to be able to talk in detail about streets where they happen to be guiding in London and they’re so revered that they’re the only external guides allowed to conduct tours at sites like Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.


She’s achieved all this while still being in her 20s. This is BEST OF LONDON according to Helena McColl
